When creating a custom type, if I add labels to my custom slice, they are being deleted and disappearing. They still appear in the API response sent back. However I have to keep adding them back in the Custom Type builder tool and they do not appear in the UI.

We are using this feature extensively on a new project for a client. Was not aware that it was buggy until the labels started disappearing. Disappearing data seems like a critical issue -- is there any ETA on when this bug will be fixed?

Hi Arpan, I understand that this is frustrating, although this is not something that is likely to be fixed, it's more likely to be deprecated as it has been replaced by the Slice Variations feature using Slice Machine. [image] Create and Model a Component with Next.js This article will…

But slice variations aren't available using the regular API, right? It's only available if you are using slice machine with React. So any other framework isn't supported for this. Or is there a way to use variations over an API with a static site generator like 11ty etc?

The problem with saying that it's simple enough for me or my team to do it. But once we hand this over to the client, they are not going to be able to use the CMS in the way we designed it to work for them. Meaning this will get flagged as a bug and we will be asked to fix it. The whole reason we a…

That's correct it's only available for react and vue users in terms of templating right now, the actual Slice (model) could still be built locally and sent to the Prismic repo with Slice Machine, this part is not technology-specific, it just wouldn't generate the code for you. The Slice Labels feat…

Yeah, I think that's what I'm going to do - we'll replace all the labels across the site with the select field and update the code to support that. Thanks for your help.

I'll also spend some time exploring slice machine and see if we can integrate it into our process. Thanks.

Great, let me know how it goes.

FYI I justed wanted to point out that this bug happens frequently for me as well

Hi Arnor, Slice Labels have been replaced by Variations which is a fully supported feature without these issues: [image] What Is Slice Machine? Slice Machine is a desktop application that makes website development faster, easier, and smoother.

@Phil sorry to dig up something old, but I thought Slice Machine isn't recommended for in-production repositories just yet?
